Why do PATFO want Gary Trent Jr. so badly is the real question. Weird trade tbh.

Gotta see what the actual package is if he gets moved back to TOR. If we’re getting a pick from them, I imagine it’s pretty heavily protected.
I don't think it's the Spurs that want Gary Trent Jr so bad, but probably more like:
1) They feel they NEED to move Poeltl now (floor raising vet on an expiring contract)
2) They can't get what they would like (2 firsts)
3) They have to be flexible in order to extract as much value as possible (taking back players, contracts, etc).
Personally I'm not against taking back Gary Trent Jr, but I think we should not do that without an extra first, mainly because I'm less confident in our ability to extract value from him as a S&T than I am with Poeltl, due what I perceive to be more teams targeting him with enough cap space to sign him outright, as opposed to Poeltl whose suitors are likely contenders over the cap (except for maybe OKC).
Perfect. One protected FRP with an expiring is his value. Get it done.
GTJ would be our second best guaed/wing behind Langford.
Did Vassell die tbh?
On defence? He never was birthed.
are people still convinced that poeltl's play isnt hurting his value?
Has absolutely nothing to do with this. Unless you think GMs are infants who are weeks old.
It absolutely does. Mason Plumlee and Jak are both worth an SRP at this point.
more to do with good teams being tapped out of value and playing late against the clock
I’m still in the camp of keeping him and trying to re-sign him.
This is part of the risk I spoke about and got crap for. and people want to pay him 20M like that helps his value?
Still leagues better than Trent Jr. tbh.
Trent has shown periods where he is far more active and disruptive in the passing lanes. Vassell has not ever shown that.
Lol, you must think GMs try to trade for a scrub who gets 30 points in some random game. Dumb.
Yeah like half this board with KBD. Jak is a solid role player yet still not that valuable.
The way Jak is playing tonight, Toronto may have changed their minds already tbh.
If the Raptors add in Delano then you have to get that trade done. That guy is just oozing with potential. In a few years time, I’m sure he will be an all star with the proper development. Sure I’ve never heard of him and sure he is a rando scrub. but here on Spurstalk, he will get his own thread “oversized birdcage of Banton.” There will be endless debate about him and his floor/ceiling, and people will clamor Patfo has done it again when he scores 15 points in game 81 of the season on 5 three point makes.
On the plus side, if this level of play continues it'll drag down his market value this Summer so the Spurs wouldn't have to pay him as much to retain him.
Nah he's lowkey helping his new team win
